Ühtlasi on armanjak vanim teadaolev kange alkohoolne jook Prantsusmaal, mille tootmise kohta on leitud märkmeid juba 14. sajandist. Armanjakke laagerdatakse pikalt tammevaatides, mis loob nüansirikka ja jõulise maitseprofiili. Armanjakki nauditakse tavaliselt puhtana tulbikujulisest klaasist - nii saavad aroomid kontsentreeruda.
Armagnac was born out of the convergence of three cultures: the Romans, who introduced the vine to the region; the Arabs who are believed to have introduced, or reintroduced, the alembic still; and the Celts, who brought barrels for storage and aging.
